The opening of the new Jaguar Land Rover North American headquarters in Mahwah is coinciding with the rollout of Jaguar's first all-electric vehicle and other new vehicles.

The state-of-the-art headquarters is located at 100 Jaguar Land Rover Way.

In addition to Jaguar's I-PACE, the other new vehicles are the Range Rover SV Coupe, and the global debut of the all-new high performance Jaguar F-PACE SVR.

“The opening of our all new headquarters in New Jersey ushers in a new era for Jaguar Land Rover in North America in which we will have growing sales, expanded model lineups, and breakthrough technology,” Jaguar Land Rover North America President and CEO Joe Eberhardt said.

“We now have an office complex that aligns with our newest retail facilities and gives our employees an efficient and inspiring work environment.

"Finally, we are very pleased to continue to call New Jersey home and thank the town and state for their support.”

Situated on a 12-acre campus, the new 144,000-square-foot facility represents a more than $30 million investment by Jaguar Land Rover. It offers increased square footage, a showroom with the latest Jaguar and Land Rover models, as well as a 30,000-square-foot product research, training and development center.

The building features 78 conference rooms and meeting spaces, 498 workstations and more than 85 indoor and outdoor wireless access points to allow for a more collaborative workspace and open environment.

Electric vehicle chargers are available on site for employee use. In an effort to be more sustainable and source from local vendors, all catering in the building is provided by Dartcor Food Services, a local New Jersey farm-to-table food service vendor, all coffee is sourced from a New Jersey coffee roaster, and all paper products in the building are eco-friendly and recyclable.

Jaguar Land Rover North America has nearly 400 employees based in Mahwah and an additional 40 employees in Mississauga, Canada. The company has a total of 232 retail facilities across North America.

The company is coming off of a consecutive record-setting year in 2017, with sales reaching an all-time annual record for the two brands combined, up 9 percent to 128,098 units in North America.

The growth was marked by the addition of the Jaguar E-PACE compact performance SUV to the ‘PACE’ family of Jaguar SUVs, as well as the addition of the fourth member of the Range Rover family, the Range Rover Velar.

The Jaguar brand was also recognized as one of the fastest growing premium brands in the U.S. market for the second year in a row.
